This hilariously readable collection of classic nonsense poetry,
delightfully illustrated throughout, is a showcase of comic talent
and sheer silliness.
The Everyman Book of Nonsense Verse" "features an eclectic spectrum
of contributors ranging wildly from Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll
to Hilaire Belloc, Ted Hughes, Ogden Nash, and Shakespeare, with
illustrations by Mervyn Peake, Quentin Blake, Emma Chichester
Clark, Spike Milligan, and the deliciously sinister Edward Gorey.
Such old favorites as "The Owl and the Pussycat" are accompanied by
"Macavity: The Mystery Cat" and "Jabberwocky," while Ted Hughes's
"Wodwo" sits alone by the bank of a stream in a state of innocence
and curiosity that mirrors a child's sense of wonder at the
universe. Whether sweetly funny or deliciously naughty, these
masterpieces of the art of the absurd will charm readers both young
and old.
